Nice chapter!! I'm waiting to see another one :)
Have a nice day :) though it's friday the 13

Author's Response: We will find out in chapter 28 more about Snape and what is happening with him. Just remember he isn't dead yet, so anything is possible. :)

Letís see, Snapeís TrialÖIf he gets off the hook Iím going to be mad that he didnít get what he deserved, but if he gets punished who is going to train Harry? I mean I could care less what happens to him Iím more concerned about Harry getting ready to face Voldemort, and Snape seems to be the only one who can help him. HmmÖIím not sure what I want to happen to himÖCongratulations! Youíve managed to slightly change my mind about Snape in these last few chapters, than all the time and energy my friend has put in the last year to do just that!

Author's Response: ha ha ha, it worked! I can change a person's mind! Yeah, Snape's fate will become slightly more clear in chapter 28. Though, can we ever really know Snape and his destiny. I love his illusive character, but I promise by the end of the story his character will have his motives explained and his destiny revealed. Thanks for the review!

just finished this yesterday and i hafta tell ya I am in love with your story!!! I hope we dont have to wait to long for the next chapter!!!! You are doing an amazing job! I look forward to finding out just what Harry will say at Snapes tiral!!!!!

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm thrilled that you love my story! More is coming so hold on, because the end is closer than you might think. Sadly all great things must come to a close. *sigh*

once i started reading your story i couldn't stop i read from chapter one til chapter 25 with only taking bathroom breaks i was glue to it can't wait for the second half brilliant keep them coming sorry about spelling

Author's Response: Wow, that's truly a lot to accomplish in one sitting. Congrats! :) I'm so excited that you find my story so captivating. There will be more to come!

I'm still wondering if I should trust Snape or not. I definately don't trust him in the HP books, but I'm undecided in your story...
Anyway this is a great story...can't wait for the next chapter!!

Author's Response: Yeah, Snape is a shifty character. You never know what he's going to do. That's why I love him so much. The unpreditability keeps you on the edge of your seat. Thanks for the review! I should be finishing up with the next chapter soon. :)

Brilliant chapter! So, Harry is the heir of Gryffindor? An interesting twist, I wonder if Voldemort knows. Or for that matter if other members of the Order know.

The letter from Dudley was really nasty. At least he had the decency to give Harry the box he rightfully owns. Harry getting a letter from his parents is a brilliant idea. A number of fics have this but I still feel that J.K. Rowling should include something like this in Deathly Hallows.

I look forward to your next chapter, which hopefully is going to have Snape's hearing and some news about the destroying of Gryffindor's armour. Harry being the heir of Gryffindor makes it even more ironic that Harry was almost killed by an artifact of his ancestor.

The hearing of Snape is going to provide a few more twists and turns in the story, I presume. But whatever happens, I hope Snape proves his true alleigance. This topsy-turvy-Snapey ride is otherwise going to make me really confused.

Anyway, brilliant update, once again and I eagerly look forward to reading more soon.

Author's Response: No one but Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hermione, and Dumbledore knows about Harry being the heir of Gryffindor, and Harry's parents. Though I think Voldemort may suspect it... The next chapter is all about Snape's trial. In fact that is the title of the chapter. Chapter 27 will give more info on the goblins and what has happened to the suit Horcrux. Also, look for Snape's alligaince to become more clear in chapter 28. :) Thanks for your wonderful review. I will get the next chapter up as soon as I can.

OK I got an email which said that there was an update and when I clicked on it the page went down. So I made a small break for a pint. When I came back everything was warking :)
I must admit that this chapter was very .... touching. I must admit that I cried in some parts :) I've learnt something about Harry's parrents and I wonder if you are going to develop the content of journals which Harry got from his mother? Also i'd like to now how long the story is going to be? (don't get me wrong I want it to be as long as it could be )
Thx in advance for you answers.

Author's Response: I'm so touched that you enjoyed the chapter so much. Look for the journal to be explored a little more. He will become closer to his mother through it. Also, know it may not seem like it because I have so many storyllines going on right now, but look for the story to run to 40 to 45 chapters. So the story is really getting close to winding up fairly soon. Thanks so much for your lovely review!

You took us through a nice range of emotions there! From Harry's frustration over the Muggle killings to Quidditch and the gift from his parents. Well done, especially well done was Ginny's handling of Harry's mood at the start of the chapter.

Looks like Tolman is setting the stage to extort as much gold from Harry as he can. Will we find out soon?

Author's Response: Thank you!!! Look for chapter 27 to find out what Tolam is up to. Thanks for your review!

So there's a trial against Snape. Good! Life in Azkaban and a nice Dementor kiss, please! What's up with the goblins? Jeez, I'm suffering over that one.
The Christmas break was a nice relief.
And the quick update was a real treat.
Keep the good work!

Author's Response: Don't worry the goblin storyline will be wrapped up in chapter 27 and the fate of Snape ??? We'll let's just say he goes to trial in Chapter 26. What happens after that is anyones guess. Thanks for your review!
